A recurrence relation for elliptic divisibility sequences
Abstract
In literature, there are two different definitions of elliptic divisibility sequences. The first one says that a sequence of integers is an elliptic divisibility sequence if it verifies the recurrence relation for every natural number . The second definition says that a sequence of integers is an elliptic divisibility sequence if it is the sequence of the square roots (chosen with an appropriate sign) of the denominators of the abscissas of the iterates of a point on a rational elliptic curve. It is well-known that the two sequences are not equivalent. Hence, given a sequence of the denominators , in general does not hold for . We will prove that the recurrence relation above holds for under some conditions on the indexes , , and .
